We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Dartigue and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
i Started Creations Dorees as a hobby. After work i would come home and would do the items myself. My first time selling at a fair was a complete success. I sold all the items. That is when the idea to make it a bussiness slowly florished. i left my job and went to follow a shoe class in italy. when i came back i opened the store and the workshop.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
i love challenges and im always setting goals for myself. That is what keeps me going. Living in Haiti has been the most challenging because of political instabilities. i love my country and i keep hoping things witll change and get better. im excited about trying new products and seeing them on poeple. I think what seperates me from others is when i design a new product i always like to add versality to my product : either it can be worn multi ways or something can be changed in them.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite place in Haiti would be going to cap Haitian. It is a city located in the north. During the day you can go to the most beautiful beaches (cadras , ile a rat) and “the citadelle” that is Unesco world heritage. it is located at the top of a mountain to have access to it you can either hike or rent a horse. At night there is a road filled with restaurants and bars. I have been there several times and its always a pleasure.
